Honestly this is another game I\u2019m not super excited by. We get three great football games on Saturday and they\u2019re spread into the three main time slots, which is nice. But there isn\u2019t much filler or reasons to be flipping channels, I guess that\u2019s not a bad thing. Iowa State gets a chance to cement themselves as the fourth-best team in the Big 12 with a win here. I know being fourth in the Big 12 doesn\u2019t sound that great but there\u2019s nothing wrong with having Oklahoma, Texas, and Baylor ahead of you. <\/p>

Iowa State Is Just Better<\/h2>

Brock Purdy is one of the best QB\u2019s in college football. He\u2019s got 14 touchdowns and only 4 picks, he\u2019s also thrown for 2,185 yards. He can carry an offense by himself. O\u2019Rien Vance is another big-time player for Iowa State. He\u2019s the game-changer on their defense with 6.5 sacks this year. Oklahoma State really only has one chance in this game. It all comes down to whether Chuba Hubbard can carry them. He might be the best running back in the country. He\u2019s first in the nation in rushing yards and touchdowns this year. But Iowa State has the 24^{th<\/sup> rushing defense in the country. Honestly Chuba probably goes over 120 yards and gets a score but it won\u2019t be enough.<\/p>}

Notre Dame at\nMichigan<\/h2>

One of the biggest rivalries in football gets the prime time slot. Notre Dame travels to the Big House to take on Michigan. I\u2019d say Michigan is pretty lucky they get this game at home because if it wasn\u2019t I think Notre Dame wins by three touchdowns. I\u2019m pretty out on Michigan until Dylan McCaffrey can play QB again. Shea Patterson just isn\u2019t the guy, the team overall looks pretty slow, it’s just a down year for the Wolverines. <\/p>

Everyone knows the quarterback position is the most important in football and there\u2019s just too much of a gap here. Ian book and Shea Patterson are on two different planets when it comes to QB play and that\u2019s going to be the difference. Jim Harbaugh is not capable of winning big games and this Notre Dame team is legit. I do think there is some magic in the Big House though and Michigan is going to keep it closer than it should be. Notre Dame in a close one. That was the College Football Preview Big Five Week 9. <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

USC at Colorado I\u2019m pretty much only going over this game because I have rules. One of my rules is that I\u2019m going to cover five college football games and since Saturday doesn\u2019t have five that interest me we\u2019ll focus on Friday. USC has a good chance to be a top 25 team at the […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":116,"featured_media":2672,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[74,836,1745,3131],"class_list":["post-27833","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-college-football","tag-lsu","tag-ohio-state","tag-michigan","tag-oklahoma-state"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
